Custom Forged 6061-T6 Monoblock Style 469M 21 Staggered
Pleased to announce with anticipation the initialization of production of staggered custom 469M fully forged wheel sets for fitment on E70/E71 and F15 X5. Wheels are being tooled and manufactured in ISO-9001:2015 certified facility using [B]forged 6061-T6 Aluminum[B]for uncompromised strength, rigidity, and superior light-weight performance that greatly exceeds that of cast wheels available on market today.
The distinct 469M wheel was unfortunately was only released in 20” diameter. This specific custom 21” wheel configuration will allow the same tire profile (275/40/R21, 315/35/R21) as stock configuration to maintain optimal ride comfort while heightening visual appeal. OEM suggested size (285/35/R21, 325/30/R21) could also be used. Offsets have been customized for optimal aggressive stance.
E70/F15 specs:
469M wheel weight specs: Rear
Upon official launch, pricing is anticipated to be $2889/set, but currently we are offering "pre-release" pricing to members at a significant discount. For more information contact info@richlandforged.com for details on pre-release prices, deposit and order. Last edited by richlandforged; 09-04-2019 at 08:11 PM.. Reason: wheel weights added |

I might be interested as Im looking for wheels, I have no idea what all that means just seems to sound like a fancier way of saying there better than other replica wheels. Besides the obvious fact that they are 21 replicas is there a better explanation why I would pay more for these considering I can get a brand new genuine set of jet black 20 469s for 2550$, are your wheels as strong and durable as the oems not trying to sound like an ass just curious as I am no expert.

Yes I understood up to that part but where I live we have nasty roads my wifes X6 came with the 599s and so far they have been holding up well over the last 2 years Im just wondering if that can be said for ops wheels.

Typically a forged wheel is stronger then a cast wheel, from what I have read they can use less material and still be stronger hence the lighter weight. I’m sure the op will chime in. Also being forged usually they are more expensive, most of the real expensive wheels out there are forged. I do agree with you though as I would do all my research before pulling the trigger .

Are you wheel company? You have a Gmail address. Or just sourcing these somewhere in bulk, marking them up and reselling them? |

Also the rear wheels are 11" and the offsets aren't aggressive enough to avoid using the spacers?
Losing 1/2" in wheel width, different center bore (use of concentric rings) and OS not aggressive enough, things can be improved quite a bit here. Please clarify the above mentioned concerns as well |

Majority of all these pop up wheel companies are having their rims manufactured in mainland China. You can literally get any wheel pattern forged 2 piece 3 piece for a fraction of the cost. You can get any size color or finish. Hey OP, let me know when you get 22s.

Anyone who puts this much effort into selling a knockoff set of rims should be revaluated for membership to this great forum. Cmon man I have a set of these OEM sitting in my garage they are my winter setup. $3K for knockoffs? Really?
